A new name is steadily rising in South African music and Stige Lebaka is making sure his arrival is felt.
The Bloemfontein-born artist has released the official music video for his single “Wa Mpona,” a bold cinematic offering shot against the iconic backdrop of Sun City. The visual reflects his growing confidence, creative maturity, and hands-on approach to storytelling.
Fresh off winning the HomeComing Artist on the Rise competition, Stige is positioning himself as one of the country’s most promising emerging voices. “The support has been overwhelming… this feels like growth, purpose, and progression all at once,” he shared.
Blending hip hop lyricism with Afro pop influences, Stige represents a new generation of artists unafraid to fuse sound, culture, and ambition. With “Wa Mpona” already gaining traction on radio, this release marks more than just a video drop — it’s an introduction to an artist ready for the national stage.
